Richard William Franclemont had his pilot's license. As a child I grew up on 731 Genesee Street Corfu, NY 14306 and often when a plane went over my dad (Richard David Franclemont) would joke that it might be grandpa. He flew out of Lancaster airfield I believe.

Richard William Franclemont later in life was an avid RV / camper. He and Beatrice Nichols would travel in the RV to various campsites. One time he returned from a trip and explained how he had set up a camcorder next to him while driving, then made us watch hours of driving video. As a young teen I remember thinking how crazy and boring that was.
